In either case, Enterprise Architect supports most - if not all - of the responsibilities you might have on your project.</span></p>
<p class="p_BodyText"><span class="f_BodyText">Therefore, the next topics to explore depend on the work you normally do on a project.</span></p>
<p class="p_BodyText"><span class="f_BodyText">The descriptions below cover a number of job roles that Enterprise Architect supports. For those that most resemble your role on a project, follow the job title hyperlink to display a description of how that role might use Enterprise Architect, then follow links within those topics to explore some of the Enterprise Architect features of importance to the role.</span></p>
<p class="p_BodyText"><span class="f_BodyText">Another area of responsibility that Enterprise Architect supports is System Administration - see the </span><span class="f_BodyText" style="font-style: italic;"><a href="managingmodels.htm">Model Management</a> </span><span class="f_BodyText">topic.</span></p>
